Overview"In the past two decades, states and multilateral organizations have devoted considerable resources toward efforts to stabilize peace and rebuild war-torn societies in places such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Kosovo, and Sierra Leone. Despite these prodigious efforts, there has been relatively little consideration of the critical questions arising from the ""end game"" of state-building operations. In Exit Strategies and State Building, sixteen leading scholars and practitioners focus on relevant historical and contemporary cases of exit to provide a comprehensive overview of this crucial issue. By examining the major challenges associated with the conclusion of international state-building operations and the requirements for the maintenance of peace in the period following exit, this book provides unique perspective on a critical aspect of military and political intervention. Deftly researched, Exit Strategies and State Building sheds new light on what is not merely an academic issue, but also a pressing global policy concern."

Mona Fixdal, H-Net Reviews <br> This book should be compulsory reading for all concerned citizens at a time when Iraq and Afghanistan have raised major questions about the merits of interventionist policies. -Jean-Marie Gu henno, former UN Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations <br><p><br> This is an excellent collection of essays, bringing together an impressive cast of contributors and covering an unusually wide range of thematic issues and case studies. It fills a gap in the burgeoning literature on peace- and state-building and merits a wide readership, including from the world of policy-making. -Professor Mats Berdal, Department of War Studies, King's College London <br><p><br> Designing and implementing exit strategies for international efforts to rebuild war-torn societies has never been more necessary or fraught. The insightful essays so ably assembled by Richard Caplan dissipate the fog of contemporary peace-building. -Professor Thomas G. Weiss, Director, Ralph Bunche Institute for International Studies, CUNY Graduate Center <br><p><br> Richard Caplan has assembled a superb collection of thematic and case-study essays on the challenges and modalities of 'exit' in state building operations, a topic that is finally receiving the attention it deserves. -Roland Paris, University Chair in International Security and Governance, University of Ottawa <br><p><br> Author InformationRichard Caplan is Professor of International Relations at Oxford University.
